I normally have a hard time getting ready for work but I always go because it's actually kind of a relief for me - somewhere I can feel normal for a bit. But today I just couldn't even get dressed. I was sobbing my eyes out off and on all day. Yesterday was pretty much the same and I left work early. My anxiety is at a very high level too. I feel scared and unsettled all the time.

It is difficult to generalize reactions to everyone taking the same drug. As for myself, I had Vraylar make my depression significantly worse within a few days. I opted to discontinue it at that point. Vraylar has a very long half-life, and I was unwilling to take the chance of triggering a bad reaction that would last for weeks or months.

Let's see what other people have to say.
